Verdict

SOHO PIASTRI (8) was placed as a hot favourite in his two runs of last campaign, the latest coming when edged out by head at Ballarat in January. Draws deep but should be ready to go off two trial wins at this circuit and distance. BETTORLEFTALONE (10) placed here fresh then improved for a win by 5.6m at Penrith last time out. Led in both of those outings so the outside barrier poses more of a challenge but he is lightly raced with upside. YOU ARE MY WISH (4) was very good when fifth in the G2 Gold Chalice Final two back then delivered his first win at Bathurst last time out. Could work through his grades now. CYCLONE JENNI (3) resumes for new trainer Rickie Alchin after showing ability at her maiden campaign in Victoria, highlighted by a debut win at Melton. Readied with two city trials and draws well so keep safe.
